Ever heard the expression “Anyone can laid on Craigslist.”?
Well, as of today that won’t be quite as true:
As of today for all US craigslist sites, postings to the “erotic services” category will no longer be accepted, and in 7 days the category will be removed.
Also effective today for all US sites, a new category entitled “adult services” will be opened for postings by legal adult service providers. Each posting to this new category will be manually reviewed before appearing on the site, to ensure compliance with craigslist posting guidelines and terms of use. New postings will cost $10, but once approved, will be eligible for reposting at $5.
This move is a response to pressure from law enforcement agencies but it sure does feel like their roots are withering. What’s Craigslist with only a Disneyed-up Red Light District?
Let’s take a pause . . . a moment of silence to morn the Internet’s loss.
Our beloved “Cesspool” may never be the same again.

Craig’s list needed to do something about the situation especially since law enforcement was pressuring to do so.
